What is Starling's Law of Capillary forces? How does this explain why a nutritionally deficient child would have edema? - ANSWERSStarling's Law describes how fluids move across the capillary membrane. There are two major opposing forces that act to balance each other, hydrostatic pressure (pushing water out of the capillaries) and osmotic pressure (including oncontic pressure, which pushes fluid into the capillaries).
